The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Worcestershire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WR8 Postcode - Picken End Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old woman after she had put petrol in her diesel faithful Volvo740 in Picken End. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a backwater lane en route to visit her family. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just bought it a couple of days ago right after my old one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, finally died". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Worcestershire lady!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
